Braised Lamb Recipe

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

I'm a fan of the Cava restaurant, where they have the most flavorful braised lamb bowls with all those fresh toppings and sauces.

This is not their exact braised shredded lamb recipe (I don’t know what they put in theirs), but this one? Oh my goodness. It’s so good.

This braised lamb has become one of my favorite recipes to make when I want something I can stretch. I cook a big batch, use it in bowls for a few days, and freeze the rest for later. It’s one of those base recipes that makes future meals easier. Some of my favorite ways to use it:

Over rice or grains with a simple cucumber-and-tomato mix or sauteed spinach
With a lemon vinaigrette or lime vinaigrette
Add hummus or baba ganoush if you want it extra good
Or, honestly, whatever fresh things you have on hand

It’s flavorful, comforting, and flexible. It's the kind of recipe that works for dinner tonight and your freezer.

A Favorite Pot for Making this Braised Lamb

As seen in the video, I suggest using a heavy bottomed dutch oven for braising this lamb in the oven. I love this one, as it's reasonably priced and it's gorgeous.

Happy Cooking,

New Orleans BBQ shrimp (and it's not what you think)

Hi Reader, We spent spring break in New Orleans and had the best time. A gator tour, more food than I can list, and a whole lot of walking it off after. The BBQ shrimp stuck with me. It's not actually barbecued. It's jumbo shrimp simmered in a buttery, garlicky, Worcestershire-spiked sauce, and you eat it with crusty bread for soaking up every last bit of that sauce. Nothing sweet, nothing sticky, just bold Louisiana flavor in one skillet. 🍴 Get the recipe: New Orleans BBQ Shrimp. If this one...

Sausage Lentil Soup

Hi Reader, The weather in North Carolina has been all over the place lately. One day it's in the 70s, and the next it's cold, rainy, and windy. On the cold, rainy days, I want soup. Really good soup. This sausage lentil soup fits the bill. Not only is it delicious, but it's packed with good stuff — lentils for fiber, zucchini, celery, onions, carrots, and tomatoes. And the Italian sausage? It adds so much flavor. This is the kind of soup that makes you actually look forward to a gloomy day....

Hummingbird Cake is a Southern staple with Jamaican roots

Hi Reader, Hummingbird Cake is one of those recipes I'd been curious about for a long time before I finally made it. Now it's a favorite. What I didn't know until I dug into it: this cake actually originated in Jamaica before becoming a Southern staple. I feel so connected to the recipe, and it's so delicious. It reminds me of a really flavorful banana cake with crunchy pecans throughout. Anyway. The cake. It's dense, moist, packed with banana, pineapple, and pecans, and finished with cream...
